The Rights of Spring – A Memoir of Innocence Abroad
Autor David Kennedyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 apr 2009
"This is an astonishing essay. In part literature, in part philosophy and social theory, it combines critical self-observation with razor-sharp analysis of Western humanitarian activism abroad. Human rights will never be the same. The essay has already achieved cult status among a small circle of activists; its publication for wider audiences is a cause for celebration."--Martti Koskenniemi, author of The Gentle Civilizer of Nations: The Rise and Fall of International Law, 1870-1960

Descriere
Human rights workers have achieved positions of formidable power. They have done much good. But the moral ambiguity of their work and questions about whether they can sometimes cause real harm endure. This book tackles those questions. It presents a tale of the bright sides and the dark sides of the humanitarian world built by good intentions.
